448 Destroy White Cloud City (First Update)

Flames soared into the heavens within White Cloud City. In Astonishing Rock Valley, the light flickered bright and dim, explosions ringing out from time to time. Clearly, the formations at all seven positions—"One, Rain, Blow, Vanish, Ten Thousand, Li, Dust"—of the Scattered Cloud Grand Formation had been breached. It was only a matter of time before the main city, perched upon sheer cliffs, was conquered.

Within the main city stood a tall, white-haired elder with a ruddy complexion, clad in a black robe. This old man was Li Cangjue.

He was a veteran Dao Entry expert. His cultivation and arcane power had reached their peak a century ago, yet he had never been able to break through the barrier of Manifest Spirit.

Yet the Manifest Spirit realm had always been a great pass. Heaven knew how many cultivators had been halted before it.

However, Li Cangjue possessed extraordinary talent and had encountered great fortunes and remarkable opportunities in his early years. Even if he could not see through the barrier of Manifest Spirit, his foundations were incomparably deep, and his Seven Baleful Heart-Crushing True Qi shifted in endlessly unpredictable ways. He absolutely could not be regarded as an ordinary Dao Entry expert.

"Though the court's prestige appears to have waned over the years, with the first Emperor You as its pillar that props up the sky, its foundations remain unparalleled. If you two insist on making enemies of Great You, remember this well: before the Spring-Autumn Great Calamity begins, no matter how trapped and frustrated you may be, you must hide your brilliance and keep your depths veiled, focusing on accumulating strength. Unless the time is right, to forcibly withstand Great You's 'heavenly might' is to court a fate beyond redemption through ten thousand calamities."

The elder spoke these words
